Johnny's Ambassadors #StopDabbing Walk - Saving Our Youth from the Harms of Marijuana

Hello Friends.    Johnny Stack was a dear friend, and we were devastated to learn of his death.  The more we learned about his life, the more we realized that we need to support Laura and John and Johnny's Ambassadors so this doesn't happen to other young people.

I'm one of Johnny's Ambassadors! I'm walking to raise awareness and protect youth from the harms of today's highly potent marijuana.

Who’s Walking? Johnny's Ambassadors are committed to reducing adolescent marijuana abuse, mental health, and suicide. 

Who Are Johnny’s Ambassadors? Johnny’s Ambassadors is a non-partisan, non-profit, grass-roots alliance of individuals and organizations around the globe concerned about the harms of youth marijuana use. We are parents, coalitions, impacted family members, healthcare professionals, teachers, and nonprofits who seek to reduce youth marijuana use through education, prevention, and awareness. We use evidence-based, scientific research and experts to teach the impacts of today’s high-THC marijuana on youth mental illness and suicide ideation. 

Our Mission: Johnny’s Ambassadors educates parents and teens about the risks of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. Research shows today’s high-potency marijuana causes mental health issues and higher incidence of suicide when used recreationally and illegally under 21 years of age.

Our Vision: To dramatically decrease the incidence of adolescent marijuana and substance abuse, mental illness, and suicide, to allow our youth to live productive, happy lives.

Johnny's Parents

We visited Johnny's Parents, John and Laura Stack in July of 2021. We had not been with them since Johnny's Memorial service in December of 2019. We've known John and Laura for many years as Laura and I served together on the Board of Directors and as Past-President's of the National Speakers Association.

At a Past-President's dinner a few years ago, I learned that John is the same age as my son, Jason, so John and Laura call me "Dad." It is wonderful having them as our "kids", and it was like losing a close family member when Johnny Died. We are supporting Laura and John and Johnny's Ambassadors because we don't want you or anyone you know and love to lose a family member to the ravages of today's Marijuana.
